The highest ranking Soviet bloc defector, KGB Major General Ion Mihai Pacepa, in his documentary book “Red Horizons” rote about ME peace process and role of KGB in it:
“The peace process is, and has from the outset, been nothing but a charade. It all started with the creation of a fictitious “Palestinian People” who allegedly demand political self determination. This collective noun was created by the Soviet disinformation masters in 1964 when they created the Palestinian Liberation Organization, the “PLO”. The term “Palestinian People” as a descriptive of Arabs in Palestine appeared for the first time in the preamble of the 1964 PLO Charter, drafted in Moscow. The Charter was affirmed by the first 422 members of the Palestinian National Council, handpicked by the KGB.
There are additional documentary confirmations that a such ethnic group as “palestinian people” and a state of “Palestine” have never existed:
Arab leaders like Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the Peel Commission in 1937: “There is no such country as ‘Palestine’; ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented!’
In 1946, Arab historian Philip Hitti testified before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry that “there is no such thing as Palestine in history.”
In 1977, an executive committee member of the PLO Zahir Muhsein confirmed that there is no such thing as a separate “palestinian” people of Arab descent. In an interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw in March 31, 1977, he stated the following: “The palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity.”
Based on the above and the attached documents, it is absolutely clear that the documentation submitted to UN for recognition of the Palestinian state is fake, false and fraudulent and was fabricated by Soviet KGB in the 1960s – 70s. Respectively, the UN resolution on recognition of the Palestinian state (as well as all UN resolutions on this issue) is illegal and shall be annulled. Moreover, all legal and historic documentation enclosed confirm legal and historic right of Israel and Jewish people on the land including Judea, Samaria (called West bank), Gaza and that that is called Jordan. With all my respect, I request full investigation of UN illegal activity based on fraudulent data fabricated by KGB and PLO and provided to international community. Those who have filed false documents to the UN, including Mahmoud Abbas, PLO chairman and president palestinian authority; Riyad Mansour, permanent observer of palestinian authority to the UN; and their accomplices, Mr. Churkin, Russia permanent representative to the UN, and Mr. Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, as Russia is legally responsible for all previous actions committed and documents submitted by the USSR, shall be brought to justice through the International Criminal Court in Hague, The Netherlands.
